The total cost of the contract comes to about $360, but that's a wash if you're going to be getting a Gold subscription anyway. Microsoft's been pushing the low-cost 4GB Xbox model for a while now, and along with the Kinect, it makes for a formidable competitor for the Apple TV as a $100 media center. The $15 per month is more than the current cost of a Gold membership, but that could be offset by additional media streaming services offered in the plan, like the Spotify competitor Microsoft is reportedly showing at this year's E3.
